I’m here to be cute and be inflammatory. Lemmy is a dumpsterfire and I am a pyromancer raccoon.

  • No IP laws encourage people to keep new inventions/technologies/creative works secret so that they can solely profit off of it. By ensuring a period where people are guaranteed the benefits of their creations society can coerce them into contributing to the collective knowledge base.

    I think 5yrs is a suitable timeframe for copyright. Incentives sharing while also ensuring ideas can be promptly built off of and discorouging companies to hoard intellectual property for as long as possible while they drain every last dollar out.



  • As someone who made bad relationship choices when I was young I feel you man. One thing I would recommend is not idolising this person or your feelings for them. One of the unfortunate things about falling in love in your late teens is that you’re at your most hormonal. Love will never feel the way it did for you back then. The intensity and the passion of love for someone else won’t ever feel the same. It’ll be different, recognising that, and not letting the absence of that original high define your expectations of love and future relationships is something to make sure you’re prepared for. I hope some of this resonates with you, good luck in moving on. It can take a while, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.













  • I’m convinced there is no master plan. The administration isn’t perfectly calculating the optimal path to fascism, it’s just the natural consequence of idiots running rampant until someone stops them and the American people and institutions being either not caring enough or being too incompetent to stop it.

    Same story as with Putin and the war in Ukraine. There was no logical reason nor a strategic benefit to a war in Ukraine. They had already humiliated Ukraine nationalists and ensured Ukraine could never join NATO by annexing Crimea. Ukraine would’ve been drifted into being a Russian client state like Belarus but the idiots in Moscow declared war anyway. No master plan, just gross incompetence and an impotent opposition.

    Can’t wait to get sphered by china here in Oz. Who knew that the only thing you needed to do to become the new world hegemon was run a competent government for a couple decades.
